wow! I love my machine. It is a pretty amazing thing. I guess I have enough of the hand sewing when I do the beading, etc.

I must say I'm completely shocked by your response, but maybe I will try the whip stitchin' for part of my project.

I used the machine to sew on beads around the edging of the belt (breaking enough needles that I wanted to throw the belt out the window). And have about 6 inches of the bottom of the belt I will NOT be able to sew the fringe on with the machine, without wasting about 50 needles. So maybe I'll just whip it on. I've always been afraid of the quality of hand stitching. You ladies must find that it works though!
